Things I hate in advertising

What is there to like in advertising these days? Ads are all over the damn place, the net is clogged up with pop-ups and pop-unders, a 30 minute TV show has approx 12 minutes worth of commercials, etc.

What really burns me is how many commercial breaks they take during the games. Sometimes it's literally kickoff, commerical, play, commercial, play, commerical. UGH!

Football is the perfect sport for TV because of all the breaks in action, but it just seems like each year they manage to cram more and more commercials in. Drives me nuts sometimes.

The whole stadium names is really depressing too. I miss the days of Candlestick Park, RFK, Jack Murphy, The Kingdome, Mile High, etc. The stadiums had character back then, now they've been sterilized with corporate names.

I'll get off my soapbox now, LOL.
